First, the plastic dissipates heat more slowly than metal (the paint dries slower), and drying time can be a key factor in paint appearance. Applying the same paint on plastic and metal can often result in a slightly different color appearance. Most of the vehicle surface is metal whereas the bumper covers, mirror covers, mud guards, etc., are all plastic. So, now let’s say that the body shop has determined the best color match and they spray the new or repaired bumper cover on my car – but the color still doesn’t match! Well, then we need to look at the substrate (the surface that we are painting). The painter determines if a new variant should be mixed, or if adding different tints will match the existing paint. Once the paint dries on the test card, it is held up next to the vehicle to see if the color matches.

This is done by mixing a batch of paint and spraying a small test card. So, in the case of variants, or aged paint, it is up to the body shop to determine the best color to spray. But what about an older vehicle on which the original factory paint is slightly faded? Painting the a repair area with the original factory color clearly won’t match the existing paint in this case. So it is then up to the body shop to determine which color variant is closest to the original factory color of the vehicle. Manufacturers periodically publish the formulas for mixing variants using somewhat cryptic descriptors such as, “darker”, “lighter”, “yellower”, “dirtier”, etc.

That is, even vehicles painted by the factory with the same paint code can have slightly different colors. Yet what happens if the manufacturer has multiple assembly lines, or if they have to mix a new batch of paint? Variance.

Vehicle manufacturers mix large volumes of paint for spraying vehicles on a particular assembly line. Seems easy enough, right? Well, not always.

An auto body shop would type this code into a computer software and would receive a list of tints and dyes to mix together to re-create the original factory color. For example, the paint code on my car is NH701M (found on a sticker inside the driver’s side door jamb). Every vehicle color has a particular code designation. My initial thought was that the body shop performing the repairs on my car either didn’t mix the paint correctly, or chose the wrong color variant. So, I started to dig in to the issue, trying to find out what causes it and, more importantly, how we can limit the issue all together here at Automotive Quality Solutions. This color disparity heightened my awareness of the issue – to the point where I see it on all types of cars everywhere I go. The repainted rear bumper was, to me, clearly a different color than the rest of the body. Have you ever noticed that in many cases the color of a vehicle’s bumpers doesn’t exactly match the color of the vehicle body? I noticed this recently on one of my own cars after the bumper was painted by a body shop as a result of a minor parking lot fender bender.
